Three popular Pembrokeshire pubs have been named among the UK's best in a listicle by the Daily Mail.

With the help of some of the biggest names in the British food and drink industry including Tom Parker-Bowles, Raymond Blanc, Prue Leith and Ed Bedington (Chair of Judges for The Great British Pubs Awards) as well as hundred of reviews and rewards, the news outlet has come up with a list of the top 100 pubs in the UK.

Introducing the list, the Daily Mail said: "The Great British pub, embedded in our culture for centuries and almost entirely unique to our corner of the world, comes in many guises, from village locals that are the beating heart of rural communities, to Michelin-starred city boozers.

"The ones you can’t forget? They’ll woo you in with a pretty beer garden in summer, and a crackling fire and comfy chair in winter, while serving up local beers and hearty fare.

"A gentle evolution in recent decades has seen families, including four-legged members, now welcomed with open arms."

Vice Chairman of Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), Ash Corbett-Collins, added: "The Great British boozer remains the envy of the world"

"Nothing can beat the warm atmosphere, friendly welcome and top-quality cask beer and real cider found in your humble local."

Tafarn Sinc (Rosebush)

Tafarn Sinc, located in Bryn Ter, was one of three Pembrokeshire pubs named among the best in the UK by the Daily Mail.

"The welcome is warm, the setting toasty - you’ll spot a different trinket (including old pictures, kiln jars and oil lamps) each time you visit - and the food and drink a match for the chocolate box setting."

If you are looking for a pint recommendation, the writers at the Daily Mail say "anything on by Bluestone Brewery".

Dogs are also welcome with a dedicated area at the Tafarn Sinc bar for "well-behaved pets".

Is has also been well received by visitors, boasting a 4 out of 5 rating on Tripadvisor from 162 reviews.

Nag’s Head Inn (Abercych)

The Nag's Head Inn, in Abercych, is also among the top 100 best pubs in the UK.

The Daily Mail said: "It’s tricky to get a table at the Nag’s Head Inn, a gastropub with four en-suite rooms that sits in the rolling Cych Valley near Cenarth Falls. 

"Family-owned, it’s a Welsh traditional inn, all oak beams, flagstone floors and log fires, that delivers a warm ‘croeso’ (welcome).

"There’s great local fare, including a Welsh Lamb Rump Sizzler, alongside more modern dishes such as chicken katsu. 

"The cheese comes from nearby Caws Cenarth, a local supplier said to be appreciated by the King."

Moho pale ale, by Mantle Brewery (£4.80) is the pint of choice, according to the news outlet, while there are dog friendly areas outside the popular Pembrokeshire pub.

The Nag's Head Inn also has a high 4.5 out of 5 rating on Tripadvisor from 143 reviews.

Cresselly Arms (Cresswell Quay)

Recently voted the best pub in Wales by CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale), the Cresselly Arms also features on the Daily Mails list.

Situated on the Cresswell River, CAMRA said "stepping into this Grade II listed hostelry is like stepping back in time".

This Grade-II, 19th-century pub lies a short drive from Tenby and has "long been on the map of walkers", the Daily Mail adds. 

RECOMMENDED READING:

"There’s no food (although there are pop-ups, including riverside BBQs) but an array of drinks are served up from the Victorian public bar," the news outlet continues.

"Be warned though, it’s for purists only, with a no kids, no dogs rule."

If you're looking for a pint recommendation, the Daily Mail suggests Jemima’s Pitchfork by Glamorgan Brewing Company (£4).
